Recommended for mature audiences

A prequel to The Admiral: Roaring Currents—the most-watched film in Korean cinema history—Hansan: Rising Dragon depicts the Battle of Hansando. In 1592, Admiral Yi Sun-sin (Park Hae-il) and his fleet face off against the mighty invading Japanese navy and its formidable warships. As the Korean forces fall into crisis, the admiral resorts to his secret weapon: the dragon-head ships known as geobukseon to change the tide of this epic battle at sea.
